Brooklyn's Infamous Cat Kicker Apparently Back in Town
Andre Robinson went viral for punting a cat into a sidewalk shed outside his Bed-Stuy housing project.

Brooklyn’s infamous cat kicker is back in town, the New York Daily News reported Wednesday.
Andre Robinson, 22, earned the collective rage of the borough last year when a video of him punting a sweet gray kitty into a Bed-Stuy sidewalk shed circulated on Facebook.
NYPD detectives reportedly recognized the particular shed, and Robinson was arrested shortly after. And King, the stray who’d had the misfortune of connecting with Robinson’s foot that day, was adopted by Manhattan resident Chris Scordo.

The cat kicker was due in Brooklyn criminal court last May; however, before he could be punished for kicking King, he was reportedly arrested in Virginia for using a stolen credit card to buy hundreds of dollars worth of cigarettes from convenience stores.
Robinson served six months in Virginia jail for the credit-card fraud, the Daily News reports. But now, his sentence is up, and he is said to be crawling the streets of New York City again.
Meanwhile, King’s loyal online following — the “Justice for King” Facebook page has more than 14,000 likes — is worried about the cat’s residential status, seeing as his foster dad, Scordo, was evicted from his Manhattan apartment last month.
Patch is currently looking into Robinson’s exact whereabouts, as well as those of King and Scordo; we’ll update when we learn more.
We do know, though, that Robinson is due in Brooklyn criminal court on Dec. 10, and that followers of the Justice for King page are planning on showing up to the courthouse en masse.
“See you in court A-hole,” one commenter wrote. ”Give me a bat and 30 secs with him,” another wrote. Should be a fun day in Downtown Brooklyn.
